About the role

About The Global Talent Co.

We connect exceptional global talent with innovative technology and lifestyle companies worldwide. Our mission: everyone deserves equal access to opportunity, regardless of where they were born. Join our community of 25,000+ professionals building meaningful careers with leading international companies.

About the Company You'll Be Working With

You'll be supporting the leadership of a fast-growing, Berlin-based direct-to-consumer fashion brand with a bold identity, a loyal global following, and serious momentum behind it. This is a founder-led business at an exciting stage of growth — dynamic, fast-paced, and deeply driven by vision and culture.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a sharp, highly organised German-Speaking Executive Virtual Assistant to support the CEO and co-owner directly — on a part-time basis of 20 hours per week.

This is a role for someone who thrives on making things run smoothly behind the scenes. You'll be the person the CEO relies on to keep her world organised — managing her calendar, coordinating travel, handling correspondence, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You won't just be completing tasks; you'll be anticipating needs, thinking ahead, and acting as a trusted right hand.

Fluent, professional German is essential — this is a German-speaking executive and environment. Strong English is equally important. If you're discreet, proactive, and genuinely excellent at what you do, this is a role where that will be noticed and valued.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Managing and maintaining the CEO's calendar — scheduling, prioritising, and resolving conflicts with care and foresight
  • Coordinating travel arrangements, including flights, accommodation, itineraries, and logistics
  • Handling correspondence and communications on behalf of the CEO — professionally and with appropriate discretion
  • Supporting the preparation and organisation of meetings, agendas, and follow-ups
  • Managing day-to-day administrative and organisational tasks to keep operations running smoothly
  • Anticipating needs and proactively flagging priorities, deadlines, or potential issues
  • Assisting with ad hoc tasks and projects as required by the CEO and co-owner

What We're Looking For

  • Native or fluent German speaker — essential; this is a German-speaking leadership environment
  • Professional-level English — strong written and verbal communication required
  • Additional languages are a welcome bonus
  • Proven experience as an executive assistant, personal assistant, or virtual assistant — ideally supporting senior leadership
  • Exceptional organisational skills — you manage complexity without losing the details
  • Discreet, reliable, and trustworthy — you handle sensitive information with professionalism
  • Proactive by nature — you don't wait to be told; you anticipate and act
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment and managing your own time effectively
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable with digital tools for scheduling, communication, and task management

What's On Offer

  • Competitive hourly rate (discussed during the interview process)
  • Fully remote position — work from anywhere
  • Part-time role — 20 hours per week
  • Paid annual leave
  • A front-row seat at a fast-growing, founder-led fashion brand
  • Supportive, high-energy team culture
  • Access to The Global Talent Co.'s wider professional community of 25,000+ global professionals

At The Global Talent Co., we believe great talent exists everywhere. We're proud to connect professionals across the globe with companies that value what they bring.
